So, you got to the very end of a recruiting process that ultimately didn't work out, but months later, you see the company is still looking to fill the role you applied to. How chaotic is it to apply to the job? Asking for a friend.

Not me reading the Challengers screenplay

More stuff I've been drawing these days

do-nothing execs at vice making 750k a year+bonus didn't help, but while there i'd hear about about some crony of shane smith who only job seemed to be sending annoying ideas by email. certain employees could see everyone's salary in the hr portal; he was making 300k hellgatenyc.com/vice-bankrup...

Unpopular opinion: I freaking love voice notes. The longer, the better. That's when you know the tea is HAWT. I understand why some people hate it and us, voice-note-lovers, need to be mindful. But show me two people sending literal podcasts to each other on the daily and I'll show you a friendship.

Please someone build an AI to help my parents download the PDF under the huge "DOWNLOAD" button.

Why isn’t AI doing the tedious shit for creative people instead of doing the creative shit for tedious people

Today's NYT Connections was made for me

Hi! So, I'm not new here, but this is new! I'm not just a journalist: I'm also sort of an artist (impostor syndrome doesn't allow me to use just "artist"). I'm gonna start sharing my work here, so let me know if you like it <3 You can find more at www.instagram.com/sketchyguti/

why does the computer need to go on the face? why do companies keep doing this? who is crying out for face computers

What's the point of offering "senior" positions when you're asking for 2 years of experience and offering 50K?

Not me going for a run just to fool my brain into thinking we're being productive. (We're not).

You guys: "Senior editor" doesn't mean hiring one person to do five jobs for the price of a well-paid associate editor.

Hi there, skeeters! Still looking for someone who can talk to me about their experience with environmental isolation (aka, you WFH a lot or are still self-isolating for medical reasons). Have you had brain fog? I'd love to ask you a couple of questions!

Getting old is having the old carcass threaten you with an epic migraine if you dare to stay in bed past 9am. I honestly think it's extremely rude.

Unemployment will make you do stupid shit. Like, convincing yourself that you don't have the money for a haircut (I don't, but I also don't need one), that no, using tiny eyebrow scissors is also not such a bad idea, and that you should go for it.

Also, if you know of anybody in similar conditions, share this with them. Or re-skeet this (are we still saying that?). It'll be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! I'm writing a story about environmental isolation (AKA staying for a long time in one place) and brain fog. Are you isolating because you're immunocompromised? Are you WFH and you're not good at leaving your place anyway? Could I ask you a couple of questions? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Being unemployed during the holidays means Dec. 26 comes around and you wake up in a swirl of anxiety asking your laptop if everyone's done celebrating and ready to review folks' job applications

THIS. Like the endless books that are exactly the same, because their sales are on-trend and guaranteed, this is the identical thing: take no risks, do nothing diferrent, just remake the big stuff, over and over and over, because it's bums-on-seats and safe monies. MAKE SOMETHING NEW, FOR FUCKSAKE

We were working on this one before the layoffs at PopSci happened, but I'm glad the last edition of The Opt Out got to see the light of day. www.popsci.com/diy/genetic-...

all the media orgs have cover to lay people off because every other one is. apparently they don’t think we can get outraged at all of them!

This is so heartbreaking. I'll forever treasure the work done by the awesome team behind PopSci during the 4 years I had the honor of being an editor there. I know that we should be desensitized by now, but it's truly a sad day for media and science journalism. www.theverge.com/2023/11/27/2...

So, I got laid off today after more than 4 years working at PopSci. It's incredibly sad and frustrating, but I got the chance to work with some awesome people. I'll be looking for editorial/content creation positions in the future so if you know of something, please hmu 🙌🏼

Cómo les explico el Gobierno Locomía a los gringos?

Yes, we all love snooping around to see what people did over the weekend and with whom, but honestly, we all need to set our Venmos to private. This is insane, people.

These trackers turn seals into roving sensors that map glaciers. 🧪

Lol the fuck are sigma males

Sounds weird but I still like it. You know what's also weird? Using AI to bring artists back from the dead. www.youtube.com/watch?si=Etl...

Did you know bears are good at operating computers https://www.popsci.com/environment/are-bears-smart/

Buenos días.

Honestly, aren't you guys freaked out about how flexible your ribs are?

X, formerly known as Twitter, removed the gold “verified” badge from the New York Times’ account amid ongoing complaints about the news organization from owner Elon Musk. The badge was the only symbol distinguishing the account from impostors amid two major global conflicts in Israel and Ukraine.

Good.

Being old is getting a headache when you sleep until late. Late being 8am.

Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike! Guess what day it is? Guess. What. Day. It. Is?!? That’s right, today is international sawfish day! These shark-like rays with chainsaw snoots are Critically Endangered, and today is about raising awareness. 🧪🦑🌎🐡🦈 www.sawfishconservationsociety.org/internationa...

Whoever at Google decided that hitting cmd/ctrl + K on an existing link no longer directed to the link URL but to the anchored text, know that I hate you and I wish you painful hemorrhoids.

This weekend I started watching The Sopranos for the first time. Now, for those of you who've already seen it, how in the hell do you not go about your life singing to yourself "Woke up this morning, got yourself a gun"?

Being a writer is complaining you have nothing to write about, then complaining about having to actually write what you pitched, followed by complaining about the dreadful blank page, and finally complaining some more about not being able to stop.

Listen, sometimes you sit down at your desk in the morning and all you wanna do is play the This is Luis Miguel playlist on Spotify, ok?

Agringar tu nombre no es adoptar un pseudonimo: Es agringar tu nombre.

I just love that Bluesky suddenly did a 404 on me and when I refreshed it had a new layout showing the feeds on the righthand side of the screen. 10/10

White person drinking mate: hopeless hipster. Latinx* drinking mate: It's Hispanic Heritage Month, bitch; it's what my ancestors did. *: From a country that has absolutely no tradition of drinking mate.

You boil some papitas for lunch and serve them on your plate. You wonder if you overdid it and boiled too many papitas. You serve the papitas anyway. If they are too filling (they probably will be), you'll just save some for later. Cut to no papitas on your plate. You regret nothing.
